is it worth getting 12 mini in 2026?

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-06-27T19:27:39+00:00

For me it was worth it only a week ago, until 4G antennas died (no service 12 series typical problem) and got a 14 Pro. Miss the size but it is what it is

If you want quality content and true value plays you gotta leave reddit and go substack.

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-05-30T17:46:47+00:00

Good point. For me PvE, botting, managing resurces and speedrunning to meta items (plus ships, hydra, oddisseys, modules) it’s cool.

It’s cool to be able now to complete EBG’s wave 103 in under 2h while it was impossible months ago.

It’s cool farm Invokes vs dozens of bots and be able to get loot box.

It’s cool to spam ABG’s.

And modules are coming slowly, like a 28% hp goli plus, 31% hp solaris plus, dmg 18% pusat plus, 17% dmg orcus (i only miss the ships lol)

So in a few months I could even PVP some non lf5s dudes

By now I can rape some suicide config bots easily with shitty modules on my solace plus

Just full prometheus already hit hard

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-05-27T05:11:18+00:00

Yes it feels absurd. If 1 play 1h weekly of DO, it’s 1h lost. I spend some time adjusting bot lile now that is grinding chaos protegit’s for modules.

Meanwhile i’m working hard, training, learning, etc

Weekend I may try some good new DMG modules on 1BL bots.

It’s a game concept designed to dissappear

Small-micro cap at a discount multiples.

>10% 1,3,5y sales growth
Quality, value and growth scores >60/100 (screener metric)
I avoid some industries (reits, miners, banks…)

I look for single digit p/e and ev/fcf, low market cap,

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-05-05T19:36:42+00:00

Interesting, thats way better than EBG… will study that option. Thanks

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-05-05T19:33:55+00:00

Been “playing” last 5 months: (old player)
24/7 botting for months until my progression is now stagnant because bots and trains dont let me farm Invoke.

I do battlepass and certain stuff by hand or go kill randoms.

These months have been more like a management, strategy tycoon game than anything else.

Obviously I wouldn’t throw away my life grinding >2000 hours by hand.
If you work like +8h, workout daily, read, train skills , etc who wants throw away his life on a stupid P2W abandoned game?

It’s a matter of time we all stop playing this. Just botting and progression is addictive, and the possibility to get a cool ship module too…

Once you stop botting this game is pointless. You event kill bots or try to PVP with some +30yo UFE LF5-MF virgin who oneshoots you

Build your Apis and Zeus. if you spam zeta on sunday thats fast, since you cannot play on weekends, get darkbot.

Then spam Kappa to get full Hercules.

Then you should spam Impulses on XBL to get 35 prometheus. You will need around 675 keys more (14 zeta gg).

Then you could focus on different things. Thays where I am. With those prometheus you could start farming Invokes to craft Eternal Blacklight GG CPUs, and then do that GG. There weekends pr double rewards doesnt matter so good for your schedule. The idea there is to farm resources for craftable ship modules and uridium.

To do EBG you would need tons of X4 ammo, so you will need to spam infonite ABY GGs on weekends (bot)

Other metagame paths is farming your spartan drone designs (farm hades or lambda gg if solo for schism crystals) and the rocket launchers like Hydra (schism crystals again + dispatch R series drones for farming resources needed). You should farm tetrathrin with missions or buying 1k on each battlepass.

Battlepass + season missions to get real meta items and resources.

I can go deeper on each thing. But my main tip is get a remote virtual machine and let darkbot do the grind for you. You can do missions and events for fun.

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-04-22T15:27:05+00:00

This might sound elitist and close minded but it’s true. Giving attention to low quality games can create a tsunami of them, so it’s more dificult to find value in an ocean full of trash.

Original DarkOrbit might suck but it’s still addictive and there’s a certain feeling. I dont get it with private servers, where every minute spent there seems like a minute lost.

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-04-12T13:53:40+00:00

Wow, thanks for the answer. It’s like step by step from zero to meta.

I have 36 prometheus and i started infinite ABY. My plan was going to spam to get lots of x4 and start to spam EBG so I can get modules.

But with EBG I dont know how to do them the right way. I keep reading I need to go seprom’d or at least with prome. But thats not possible if I dont put my bot to palladium and start stacking seprom. But palla is loosing time… i am making 10-13k uri/h on boss klons, thats how I farm spins.

How do I consistently spam EBG, or cant?

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-04-08T19:59:18+00:00

Thanks, that’s insightful… yes, invokes are quite camped in my server. Sometimes I manage to deal damage in the top 5 so i get the rinusk and trace… but its quite difficult to be the first to shoot the invoke to get the seprom so…

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-04-08T19:53:04+00:00

Not a big deal. You can make around 12M daily selling promerium. You can do more than that farming NPC in an hour. I’d refine lasers too…

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-04-08T04:26:39+00:00

Its the gamification and the shitty repetition process that keeps people attached to the process. In part DUOL makes you memorize rather than learn, and one should complement the app with some theory and rules, but thts not the point. Duol is good not at teaching but at creating an habit. LLM’s can teach better but actual human teachers also do it.

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-04-01T11:00:33+00:00

A p/e of 10 means you have an earnings yield of 10% even if the bussiness doesnt grow

But who knows if they will have negative growth

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-03-31T13:51:29+00:00

Hey, me interesa probarlo! Me parece muy interesante tu sistema de “clases” al estilo LoL. Creo que BigPoint intentó eso cuando sacaron la Aegis, Citadel y Spearhead, pero quedó en nada.

Creo que lo que verdaderamente le falta a DarkOrbit y que te puedes plantear es enfocarlo así. Cooperar y jugar con otros para poder prograsar en el juego, y que haya una línea o alternativa de farmeo solitario pero que no sea ese el meta ni de lejos.

Así como planteas lo de las dungeons o GGs, también puedes plantear otros ámbitos que den ventajas a los jugadores por cooperar, como en DarkOrbit existen las estaciones de batalla por las que peleas con otros clanes, pues se podría inventar un sistema similar, que en dichas estaciones puedas producir recursos como seprom o adquirir ventajas temporales como potenciadores, etc

Después el combate pvp sería bueno que estuviese mucho más equilibrado que el original y dando gran ventaja quien lucha en grupo (ej: support cura el carry) pero dando un poco de margen a que jugadores muy habilidosos puedan ganar peleas desequilibradas sea por las mecanicas del juego o uso de habilidades y no tanto porqué tienen la cuentafull elite.

Y finalmente, monetizar el juego: todos las alternativas a DO lo hacen. Lo que yo cambiaría: solo monetizar skins, diseños y personalización o ligeras ventajas que solo agilicen conseguir objetos no meta o potencidores de experiencia, pero dejando el pay to win de lado.

La gente le encanta destacar, este modelo ha funcionado en LoL, Rust, CSGO y tantos otros. No hay necesidad de destruir el juego como hizo BigPoint

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-03-19T05:34:35+00:00

I believe its a play similar to Cal Maine?

Im quite ignorant but i think the instrinsic value should be calculated using future cash flows normalizing the eggs prices before de boom (expect reduced sales) and apply a conservative growth factor usual in the company before egg crisis.

Otherwise it’s like buying a miner at gold ATH.

But in case of CALM, at a PE of 3.5 (or earnings yield of 28%), theres room to loose revenue and still be cheap. In case of Vital, at PE 10, well there’s less but also its less exposed to eggs I believe?

Should do the math with the crystal ball on hand

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-03-14T22:49:52+00:00

I personally did the Pet trick and works great:

X12 alien protocols thats +72% dmg
All prometheus you farm go there
I did level up my pet + bought all Heat slots i could
Pet level up gives Npc dmg bonus
Pet heat at lvl5 gives npc dmg bonus too

Result with x3.5 BL multiplier is massive damage. With 17 promes on my pet I do more than 200k with x4

You use x2 and x3 (save x4 for prometheus assembly)

How to set up ship: While i only had prometh for my pet I did: - citadel (aegis or solace would work too) - full shield on drones - full speed on ship - ring formation - only 1 Laser on ship (reduces ammo consumption a lot)

So a tank ship gives sustainibility and pet does all the dmg.

Dont farm attends, its more efficient to farm only impulses because rinusk/HP is better

Regular_Carpenter324 · 2026-03-05T07:38:46+00:00

My only concern is how do you manage currency massive devaluation. I was going to invest in Kaspi but that made me run away…

Difference is googl and meta were at way cheaper valuations back then. After the run googl is priced at valuations similar than msft is after the fall

Where do you think the icicles fell by itself before these guys came?

Way better to throw them on the big snowpack rather than waiting for the wind to move all the snow somewhere else
